Getting Fit while Breastfeeding: Holding Back Tears

I'm not sure if I've ever been more frustrated with my body... I've been battling ankle issues for what seems like my entire life. Probably realistically just since high school when I was heavy into sports. For Volleyball, I always had to get my arches and ankles wrapped before practice and games. I've always been "made fun of" for "tripping" over lines painted on the concrete. I am known for randomly rolling my ankles even while just standing still.  But, fast forwarding to the present time... When I was pregnant with Bailey, I didn't seem to have much of an issue with either of my ankles. I rolled my left ankle once or twice during my pregnancy with her, but other than that, I faired well.  Well, after having Bailey in August 2013, I've been having issue after issue. My right ankle was super sore every single day from the moment I woke up to the moment I finally laid down in bed. Walking was awful, going up and down the stai...

It's been quite some time since I last posted. Lots of stuff going on and lots of stuff on my mind. I tend to shut down when my mind is filled, mostly because I'm not a writer, nor have I ever pretended to be. My mind is a jungle, something not easily tamed.

It Works! Greens Reviews Wrote by Jessica R. Background Info The past few years have been extremely difficult for me. I struggled with a lot of life problems, family problems, etc. Within the last year, things really went downhill. I was having a very hard time getting any sleep, I would get a lot of headaches due to stress and environmental factors. To put it simply, I felt horrible, had no energy, no motivation, no drive, nothing. I was tired all the time, would often sleep much of the day away, get up for maybe 8 hours for work, shower, etc. then I'd be back in bed. I had absolutely no energy to do anything and nothing worked. I was desperate. I was feeling more and more miserable. I hated sleeping so much. I probably even suffered from depression. I knew something had to change but due to my current job/life situation, my options were unfortunately very limited. I even contemplated going to the doctor, thinking something had to be wrong with me. But I couldn't...
